While Judas kisses Jesus, the apostle Simon Peter cuts off the ear of Malchus (according to the Gospel of John).

ca. 1303-1306 (creation), Dated no earlier than 1303, when the building was evidently under construction

Work.description

The frescoes include the Last Judgement on the entrance wall and three tiers of fresco panels on the two lateral walls that contain scenes from the Life of Joachim and Anna, the Life of the Virgin, and the Life of Christ. The choir arch contains the Annunciation. Between the main scenes Giotto used a faux architectural scheme of painted marble decorations and small recesses. There are allegorical figures of the Virtues and Vices painted in grisaille (as though they were monochrome relief sculptures) on the dado level of the walls.
